🚫 VPS Not Booting — How to Recover Your Server

If your VPS won’t start, it may be due to operating system issues, bootloader corruption, disk overload, or a damaged file system. In this guide, we’ll walk you through diagnosing and restoring your VPS using VMmanager or manual console access.

🔍 Common Reasons Why VPS Fails to Boot

• ❌ Bootloader errors (e.g., GRUB is broken or missing)
• 📛 OS failure after updates or software installation
• 💽 Full disk or damaged disk blocks
• 🔐 Incorrect permissions on system folders (like /boot or /etc)
• 🛡 Infinite reboot loop due to a bad kernel

🛠 Recovering VPS via VMmanager

• 1️⃣ Log into VMmanager and select your VPS
• 2️⃣ Go to the Console section for direct terminal access
• 3️⃣ If bootloader errors appear — mount a LiveCD ISO (e.g., Ubuntu Resque or SystemRescue)
• 4️⃣ Use the console to mount disks, run fsck, or reinstall GRUB with grub-install
• 5️⃣ If recovery fails — reinstall the OS with the same IP (don’t forget to back up your data first)

📌 What If You Have No Access at All?

If the console is unavailable too, check the server status in your panel or contact support. This might indicate a hypervisor failure or resource limits (like IOPS or disk quota).
